LANCASTER - A magnitude-3.0 earthquake struck in the northwest Antelope Valley, west of Lancaster, but there were no reports Thursday morning of injuries or damage, authorities said.

The quake, centered 13 miles east of Gorman and 16 miles west-northwest of Elizabeth Lake in the Angeles National Forest, struck at 11:40 p.m. Wednesday at a depth of just under five miles, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.

A watch sergeant at the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Lancaster Station said he did not feel the temblor and the station had not received any reports of injuries or damage.
